Lehmann Aviation has launched a totally new L-A Series line of professional mapping drones. The new series is comprised of three fully automatic aircraft for three major mapping applications, with the LA500-AG specially targeted at precision agriculture.
The L-A series has been totally redesigned from scratch, putting together 10 years of operational experience and customers suggestions. Made of aluminium, carbon fibre and EPP foam, with a new unique modular design and new powerful autopilot, the systems are even more rugged, reliable and easier to use than previous aircraft, at the same competitive prices.
Now totally modular by design, which enables to replace or upgrade any part of the drone if needed without changing the whole system, the new L-A Series will provide the best return on investment to its owners, now and in the future. Coming with detachable winglets, while keeping the same small weight of less than 1,250g (maximum, including the camera), the drones are also much more compact and easy to transport.
All the aircraft are programmed and controlled through a brand-new version of OperationCenter software for Windows 10. OperationCenter v2, with a lot of new features and a powerful integrated user interface, is the world’s most advanced control software for fixed wing drones.
The new aircraft – working with Sony α6000 (24.3mp on a large APS-C sensor), multispectral Sequoia (LA500-AG only), thermal Flir View Pro, or even a simple GoPro Hero4 camera – can take images across a 25km range and 45 minutes flight time. the hand-launched drones fly and land autonomously in just few meters, even on rough surfaces.
The launch price of the new agricultural drone – which will be available in the last Quarter of 2016 – is 7,990 euros (price correct at July 2016).
